So it looks like I now have a better solution for copying an image file and
reducing its size both in dimensions and in bytes, thanks to a couple of
recommendations I received. Of course, other recommendations made clear
that I need to learn more about alternative approaches:

Here's a simple method for resizing. I made it a category of NSImage.
- (NSImage *)resizedImageForSize:(NSSize)size
{
NSImage*resizedImage = [[[NSImage alloc] initWithSize:size] autorelease];
[resizedImage lockFocus];
[self drawInRect:[resizedImage bounds] fromRect:[self bounds]

Steve, thank you - I just tested your recommendation - it appears to work
well. Doug, I just got your recommendation and will look into CICrop and
CILanczosScaleTransform, and CGImageRef documentation on creating images of
a particular size. I'm in fact about to run out to a Cocoaheads meeting, s
Hi Glenn,
Your answers a little bit non-specific, so at best I will have to give
you a non-specific response.
Two suggestions:
1) Core Image is your friend! In your case, CICrop and
CILanczosScaleTransform may be of some help.
2) CGImageRef is your other friend! In particular, see th
